A Brand New Day...

A brand new day, as opposed to the same old day. Yes, I know, I know, you don't even have to say it, but, that was deep! It was. I'm as deep as a puddle on a rainy day. It happens sometimes when I have time on my hands to sit down and think.

A brand new day, as opposed to the same old day. I had to say it again, just for the effect.

So what's the point you ask? Well, that's my point. No day IS or could EVER BE the same. It is that new beginning we receive every single day of our lives. That is what makes it so unreal and so invigorating and so worth living. Like the wise Forest Gump once said, "Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know which one you're going to get". But as I said on Facebook this week, and for those who are not on FB, my spin to this little saying is: "Life's like a box of chocolates, and I have SO many yummy ones to choose from..." After all, life is about the choices we make. If you want to believe it or not, the HOW of how you got here, is due to the choices you made earlier. (I'm sorry if you are regretting your choice now... :)

The choices we made as children, made us who we are today. I think that is pretty fabulous, unless you are sitting in a jail cell, then I would rethink the choices you made.
Moving on...

What choices have you made that make you happy to be where you are today? What does that feel like to you?

They can be as small as: I watched the 5:00 a.m. newscast this morning; I put on my raincoat and brought an umbrella because I thought it was going to rain; I sang in the shower today, woke the family up with my tunes; or I walked my child to school and went to work a little late. It's those small choices that add up to big results. The baby steps of your life. Do we ever really think about those little things in our lives? It's okay if you don't. I never really did either. But today, I am taking that time to think about those little tiny small choices and being happy that I made them. Are you?

"I want to wake up in that city that doesn't sleep, and find I'm King of the hill, Top of the heap..." Thank you Frank. Now that is how someone would probably feel if they woke up and had won the Mega-Millions the night before. That would be a great choice that person made of buying a ticket and then waking up to that brand new day!

Make the choices that feel right to you. Sing in the shower, dance in the mirror, laugh out loud, and then tell me how your smile looked on your face. What will you do throughout that day to keep that smile? You, my friend are in control.

A brand new day, is coming tomorrow too!
